  1. Re:The morality gap on The Science Fiction Effect · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Perhaps, but Gattaca was a worst case DNA/police state scenario, yet we are seeing the developing mold of such a society today.
    I see how SciFi can warn us, but we must pay attention and heed these ideas as well.
    Merely writing about them isn't enough.

  2. Fear economics on HDD Price Update: How the Thai Floods Have Affected Prices, 3 Months Later · · Score: 5, Insightful

    That is what we are dealing with. From HDs to gas prices.

  4. Re:Lots of solutions already, they are just ignore on Google 'Solve For X' Website Goes Live · · Score: 1

    Well, first... it seems this is a site to "promote" google+. I was interested in it until I saw that.
    Next, scarcity is a way for salespeople to promote fear and need.
    There is no irony, only sales.

    What are you 12....

  6. Re:The "Single Worst"? on Ex-FCC Chair: Spectrum Plan "Single Worst Telecom Bill I've Seen" · · Score: 1

    Because the bill is aimed at cel phone carriers, namely AT&Ts baby crying they did in response to their attempted takeover of T-Mobile?

    Thank you for your insight.
    as a pessimistic tech, this lightens my day

  8. Re:Plus, the government supports them on You Will Never Kill Piracy · · Score: 1

    Hollywood doesn't.
    In fact, doesnt Hollywood have a counter to netflix in the works? Flikr or something like that?
    They have already made their movie by no longer signing with Netflix, except Disney I think, and even STARZ has pulled out.
    So they are adapting by following others, you know... like what every tech industry does.

    Yeah, there was this 16 year old kid who said "you guys better not laugh at me when I get on Ventrillo".

  13. Freakin awesome on Flying Robots Flip, Swarm and Move In Formation At UPenn · · Score: 5, Funny

    In one of those clips, I imagined "space invaders", in real life.
    Would be fun to play space invaders with swarms of things.

  14. Re:Good luck getting the protestors to support tha on Some Critics Suggest Apple Boycott Over Chinese Working Conditions · · Score: 5, Insightful

    You know what will fix this and bring jobs back to the USA? Accountability.
    Accountability for what your outsourced partner is doing, accountability for the third party you hire, and accountability for their working conditions on the same level with the USAs internal standards.

    Boycott? pppffttt... how about real punishment.

  15. Re:I won't on How Will You React To Twitter's Regional Censorship Plan? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I will, by continuing to not have a twitter account or pay attention to tweets

  16. Re:Facebook Innovation? on Facebook Expected To Go Public Next Week · · Score: 4, Funny

    The only reason Facebook was better was because MySpace was its only competition. I mean, a virus laden social media platform that you could customize with terrible backgrounds, fonts, oh.. and music embeds vs friendly banter messages and drunken photos.
    The world has spoken, and the world said "noobs shouldnt mess with html!"

  17. Re:Childish Reaction on AT&T Threatening To Raise Rates After Merger Failure · · Score: 1

    Yes, but in all fairness I picture all corporate employees who lash out like this.

    Well, the sooner it happens the faster people will not be able to bitch because they have salt water in their mouth.
    Seriously, the back and forth wares me out. Once it happens, at least people who are still alive can tell others. "Told you so".
    Ironically, holding on to a floatation device....

    That argument is so 1990s.
